Egypt military court jails 41 opponents for ‘violence’

An Egyptian military court jailed 41 opponents, including 16 students, for violence charges Tuesday, a judicial source said.

Twenty seven defendants charged with assaulting public and private facilities were sentenced to 20 years in prison in absentia, the source told Anadolu Agency. The court also jailed 12 opponents for 10 years each and two others for five years each on similar charges, the source said.

Tuesday’s verdicts are still subject to appeal.
